The best part of the hotel, in addition to its central location, is that the rooms appear to be brand new, with high-end finishes and fresh paint and carpet.
The breakfast buffet is quite extensive with a wonderful choice of hot foods made-to-order.
The staff was helpful and attentive, especially in the lobby/concierge/front desk area.
I highly recommend the Fitzwilliam Dublin!

We stay in a hotel in Dublin 3 or 4 times a year when we can (even though we live in Dublin). We tend to try for one of the 5 star ones especially if there is a deal to be had. I think the Fitzwilliam is outdoing the Shelburne based on this stay. Haven't stayed at the Westbury for years because we really didn't enjoy the last time we did and it was just way to expensive for the service received. Staff at the front desk were excellent especially. The room was the nicest by a long margin. Breakfast is a buffet for the cold items and all hot food is prepared fresh and brought to the table and if you want more you can just ask. This is a nicer experience than the full hot buffet and the quality is always going to be better this way.
The only things I would mention that could be improved are. 1. The bar is not really a nice place to sit. It's a bit canteen like. We opted to sit in reception for a last drink but sitting in the window people watching was really enjoyable. It's a lively corner of the city. 2. The corridors have a bit of a clinical smell. It obviously shows how clean they are kept but something with a more perfumed odor would be a better option if available.
The value for money compared to others is really what makes this hotel stand out though. Substantially cheaper than the other 5 star hotels but with service that outdoes them.

The hotel is excellently located at St Stephen's Green Park, close to Grafton Street, and central Dublin restaurants, pubs, and, many attractions. The staff is very well trained, and efficient, responding immediately to guests' concerns or requests. Special mention to Ralph, Angela, and Maurizio at reception, and Irene in housekeeping, Concierge staff were impeccable, with great recommendations, and went the extra mile to provide assistance with directions, and booking activities, special mention to Viktor and Samuel. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety, of both cold and hot dishes, prepared freshly to our requests. Rooms are standard size for Europe, with great bedding, and quiet and the hotel strives to provide special attention to its guests, with details to every aspect of a great stay. I can't emphasize enough what you are rewarded with service and personal attention, in a great location: priceless

Lovely hotel, would question if it’s a 5 star hotel though. Arrived at 10am ish on the first day of our holiday and we were promptly checked in and allowed access to our room straight away which is great to freshen up after a early morning start and enabled us to rest before heading out for the day. We stayed in a newly refurbished room, it was really well decorated, some small touches though that were missed were some exposed wiring behind the headboard and a chipped and stained bathtub. Fresh towels and room turned down daily with chocolates and fresh bottled water was a nice touch but expected from a 5 star. Free WIFI. Cons - Strong smell of sewage every evening on the 2nd floor just as you come out of the lifts and leaving on Monday morning we were awoken by the noise of the renovations going on, this is fine and understandable that the business has to function around it’s renovation but a warning would have been nice. Also having to carry our bags up to the 3rd floor to access the lift to come back down as the 2nd floor lift wasn’t accessible on Monday morning due to renovations. Checkout process was smooth and a very reasonable checkout time of 12pm. All staff were very friendly and polite.

From the moment we pulled up outside the hotel - we were treated and welcomed like a beloved family member coming home. Every member of staff from the knowledgeable concierge team, reception check in, couldn’t do enough for us. (2 rooms booked) As a first time visitor to the Fitzwilliam in Dublin, I felt so comfortable and relaxed, this hotel will be my forever go to stay when in Dublin. The general manager, Fergal O’Connell even sent us up delicious treats of cookies and brownies to our rooms. The beautifully appointed, refurbished rooms, were stunning and contained everything one would need to make your stay memorable, you even get your very own umbrella for those notorious Irish rain showers! The hotel has the perfect location right at the top of Grafton Street, overlooking the beautiful St Stephen’s Green. I can’t wait to return. Thanks to everyone for looking after us so well.

Three things first; the hotel is superbly located in the centre of Dublin. The staff are wonderfully helpful and professional. The bedrooms are very comfortable, even those with zero outward views (in other words looking into another building). However if you are expecting 5* ambiance think again. The Foyer and its furnishing is more reminiscent of a village bus station rather than that of a 5* establishment (if that works for you that's fine but at over $500 a night maybe a makeover is well overdue). The bar/restaurant has the allure of a tired Wimpy Bar (for those who can remember them) this one probably designed by a teenage Goth with a sever migraine. Please wake up and make it pleasurable to use your hotel or let someone else develop it into something really special

The Fitzwilliam Hotel never disappoints ! we visit fairly regularly and every visit feels as magical as the first . On our last visit in December - from the first contact with Maria Kriskova in reservations we knew we would be treated like Royalty !!!! what a welcome from Sebastian in Reception , Monica the Manager and Allan the Guest Relations Manager we were treated like if we were the only guests staying on that night - the huge friendly welcome back - this is what true Irish Hospitality should be in all hotels . The Fitzwillian has service down to a fine art ! The porters are always the first you meet and do they look after you! from Marcin , Enes , Alican , Fabian and Radek . Luggage delivered to your room with a friendly welcome smile . We are always allocated the same room - so beautiful , quiet and its our home away from home ! The little touches put into our room on each occasion are very much appreciated which makes this hotel stand out from other five star properities. The new Bar WOW WOW is the word on the new makeover - love the decor and ambiance - its now the place to be seen !!!!!! its so beautiful in there and run by Ivan who is another friendly attentive staff member, Diego was our waiter on the night - made for the job - witty , friendly and attentive . The food a delight, lovely menu the cocktails to die for !!! Breakfast always a highlight served till 12 a bonus , a la carte menu which we love don't like hot buffet in hotels , love the menu - love ye to bring back the potato cakes at some stage always were my favourite . Slwia and Andre were so welcoming and of course Tharick - he definitely needs to be in the front of the house ! Keep up the good work . The cold buffet such a selection and good quality food . The Irish Breakfast - the quality of the products. I could go on and on !!!!! Overall - its rare to find a place that maintains such high standards over time - the Fitzwilliam manages to do just that . Thank you all . Look forward to the next visit later in the month .

The Fitzwilliam is in the best location in the city, everything I needed was only 10 minutes walk away but it is the friendly staff that stood out with genuine hospitality from the moment i walked in. The room I stayed in was brilliant, looked very fresh and modern with views over St Stephen's Green, all the furnishings were of the highest quality and nice touches like water in the room. Another bonus of this hotel is having the Glover's Alley restaurant in the hotel, without doubt some of the best food and service I have experienced.

a very mixed bag this place.we asked for a big bed and a big shower,we got possibly the smallest hotel room in dublin,with a bathroom slightly smaller than a phone box.the loo so tight the loo roll holder was in the way to sit down. a very nice woman on reception saved the day and found us a decent room and bathroom. in fairness,the staff are the only good thing about the place. so far,so good,until night three when the banging music from the next door bar made sleeping impossible into the early hours,despite repeated requests to the front desk to do the necessary. not my idea of good news. strangest thing of all,the hotel took full payment on arrival,including some extra which i was informed was to cover them for any damage done by us to the room. i don’t know what kind of people stay in this place,but in over fifty years of staying in hotels of all kinds,that was a first for me. so,in conclusion,if this place is a five star hotel,i will eat my hat. i wouldn’t stay there again and would strongly suggest that you don’t either.

I stayed two nights over the weekend to adjust to the time difference before my business trip. I loved my experience at the Fitzwilliam - it was clean, staff was attentive, and I appreciated all the small conveniences including apples in the lobby, a water kettle & nice selection of in-room teas & coffees, and small gestures such as treats/cookies at turn down service. The only minor convenience was the heavy bass from the music at the nightclub/bar next door that I could hear faintly through the walls but earplugs and my sound machine app helped reduce it. The windows are double paned for noise reduction so you cannot hear the street. Overall, I loved so many things about the hotel and my room that the faint noise will not deter me from staying here again.

Yes! And it was scrumptious !
Don’t miss it
Would skip the 1 star Michelin restaurant at the premise, unless you like big plates with tiny portions , big prices and a lot of BS
Yes there is room for clothing and our room had a coat rack behind the door which was helpful as we visited in November. As mentioned above, it is a city sized room in a good location - albeit a bit noisy due to the disco below.
There are more places to choose from in the Dublin area.
